So for the 6th year in a row, Liverpool start their PL campaign with an away fixture, this time travelling to Spurs. Thats a tough opening day game.

And as all you maths gurus will know, the probability of getting an away fixture 6 years in a row is 1 in 64 or 1.5%. But im not paranoid 

I notice UTD, Chelsea & Arsenal all have 3 home & 3 away fixtures after European nights.

Liverpool have 5 home & 1 away!!!!

Wasn't Fergie nice to you this year? Fact.

Full back, thanks for your concern but I'd be more worried about United that Liverpool if I was you.

But you arent me bingo, so dont worry about it

Next time I want to post in the thread I will ask your permission first

That would be great

Website reporting David Moores has resigned from board.

Wonder if this will let the yanks run totatly wild now. He brought them in but apparently blocked them in attempts to load debt directly onto the clubs books since.

There's also speculation that Moores' resignation is ahead of some very bad news which he wants no part of being associated with.

Liverpool director Moores resigns 


Former Liverpool chairman David Moores has resigned from the board of directors, two years after selling his majority stake in the Anfield club.

Moores, who accepted George Gillett's and Tom Hicks' takeover plans in March 2007, has since spoken of his dismay at how the American duo have run the club.

His resignation follows the departure of chief executive Rick Parry, who quit the club earlier this summer.

Moores will retain his role as an honorary life president.

Gillett and Hicks have become increasingly unpopular amongst the club's fans, who are frustrated by delays over the construction of a new stadium and the use of the club's profits to finance the American pair's £350m loan behind their takeover.

Moores came under criticism in 2004 for his handling of the takeover but received strong backing at the time from club captain Steven Gerrard.

The Liverpool and England midfielder said Moores was "one of the main reasons I stayed at Liverpool" during the period he was being courted by Chelsea.

Chelsea matched Liverpools bid for Johnson.

They should hope Chelsea take him... free up that money for other areas!

[quit yo jibbajabba]

to the poster on about dicks earlier;

met him a lot of years back in donegal town (me, wedding, him boozing);
went up to shake his hand etc as you do, said something like "thanks for what you did for the reds" etc (i know i know, words ive always regretted, but i was young at the time);
first thing he replied with was, "i was always a manchester supporter meself"

conversation closed.

was it any wonder we were in so much bother back then

Fernando Torres has pledged his long-term future to Liverpool.

The 25-year-old Spain striker had been touted as a target for Manchester United once Cristiano Ronaldo completes his £80m move to Real Madrid.

But Torres said: "I'm very happy with my contract and wouldn't leave just to earn a little more somewhere else where I wouldn't be that happy.

"To want any more would be greedy and that is not me. As long as Liverpool want me, I will stay."

Torres, in South Africa with the Spain squad for the Confederations Cup, added: "Winning the European Championship with Spain gave me a taste of what winning at the top level was like and once you've had a taste of success it becomes an addiction."

He recently signed improved terms on his current contract which runs until 2013, with the option for a further year at the end of that deal.


Torres added: "A lot of players committed themselves to Liverpool this summer with new contracts and players don't do that unless they think they can have their ambitions met.

"There is a lot of belief at the club and a lot of trust in the manager. I sincerely believe I will win the Premier League and the Champions League here. The winning tradition is very clear at Liverpool. I want to be involved in a little piece of their history."

The Liverpool future of Torres' team-mates Xabi Alonso and Javier Mascherano are not as clear as they continue to be linked with moves away from Anfield.

Alonso is a long-time target for Real Madrid, and when asked in South Africa whether he would be disappointed to still be at Liverpool next season, he replied: "I cannot answer that. I have already said everything."

It is understood Alonso's relationship with Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez became strained last summer after he tried to sell him to fund his failed bid to sign then Aston Villa captain Gareth Barry.

Mascherano, meanwhile, has emerged as a potential target for Champions League winners Barcelona.
